ALLIANCE FACTORIES.

Correspondence Of the fRan PRrss,
As the board OF directors Of tho Cooper
alive Manufacturing Alliance Of Texas have
now fully matured their plan OF operations,
a full prospectus will shortly be issued.
This association aims at the establishment
OF branch factories In such localities Of the
State as will from every point Of consdora-
ton assure the greatest amount Of success.
II proposes to do this by taking stock equal
TO the amount OF cash capital shown TO DO
actually paid in, of such factories only, as il
may from time 10 time endorse and accept
rs branches of this association. Although
the directors have not considered II neces-
sary at this stage of the enterprise to guar
antee any stated amount Of interest on in
vestments Of capital, every assurance is
given that all moneys subscribed for stock
will be invested In such factories only rs
shall after the most careful scrutiny and OK
animation in every particular be accepted
rs branches Of this association, such
branches receiving from the association
their charter privileges, and being at all
times subject to its supervision and control.
The stock of this association will be
issued In shares of five dollars each, pay
able in two instalments, the first being due
October LIST, 1887, and the second on Octo-
Der 1st, 1888. 1t is therefore within the
power of every person in the state to be-
come participation in an undertaking
fraught with so many great aud lasting ad-
vantages, and as it is an enterprise that will
not clash or antagonist with any interest
whatever in the state, but will on the other
hand prove an absolute assistance and BEN
eft to all the multifarious industries in
Texas. We have therefore every confidence
in recommending oil persons of whatever
profession or station to become investors
Here is plane on which all may meet with
interests identical. However wide the
chasm that divides multtudes oil innu-
merble other questions and undertakings,
there is none, and can be none, in an effort
to establish factories for the manufacture OF
cotton, WOODEN and other commodities il
this wide state.
| 1t is no stretch of the Imagination TO say
that, this work successfully accomplished,
will stand prominent amongst the great
achievements of the age, will stand in the
front rank of the works of a century already
by far the most pre-e minent Of the Chris
tan err for the advances that have been
made in all that appertains to high stand
ard of an enlightened and advanced civil
cation in the development Of scientific,
manufacturing, engineering and other en-
terprises, as we'll as education, philosophy,
and the fine arts and when it is remem
bered that less than generation ago Texas
was regarded as pastoral land only, and,
even to come within the last decade, she
could boast no more than an agricultural
combined with her pastoral interests. If
then she Is able by herculean effort of her
own IN the course of a few years to rise to
the status and dignity of manufacturing
centre, tho advance will be among the
most extraordinary of the annals Of human
history. Aud this is to-day quito within
the reach of practical possibilities for Texas.
There is nothing chimerical or quixotic in
such an effort 1t requires only combined
and united action of the people of this
state to make the undertaking at once OIL
assured success. Gould any appeal be made
to the patriotism of people from a stronger
standpoint than to support and sustain on
effort of this nature? We think not,
neither do we think we shall make the up,
peal in vain.
The directors of the several congressional
districts have already appointed canvasserf
to float the stock of the association in many
counties, and, where such has not beer
done, it is only because sufficiently quail
fed and responsible person has not yet beer
found. We therefore request the secretar
les of the County Alliances to correspond
with the director of their district for the
purpose of meeting this requirement at al
early date as possible. The directors vii
arrange to meet with the officers of or with
County Alliances for this especial purpose
if notified of the time and place of meet
ing.
